DIY: Cute and Colorful Inspiration Board

I'm so glad and grateful to be filling in for the lovely Candice. Teatime Thoughts was the very first blog I read that inspired me to begin blogging because I was touched by it. So it's so awesome that I'm filling in!!

Summer inspires me in so many ways, I'm sure many of you can relate. Summer marks the intro to new adventures and unforgettable memories. What better time to jump start on some fun & super creative projects?! This project is ultra easy create and with a trip to your local arts & craft store you're all set and ready to let the creativity roll! This would be a great gift and can be hung just about anywhere in the house/office.

First, measure the cork and the fabric. Be sure to leave extra fabric so when it's time to staple it you won't be short on fabric. Should you have excess fabric you can simply cut it off.

After measuring your fabric and cork. It's time to snip away. Evenly, cut the fabric and begin to fold the ends in preparation to staple gun it.

Ok be very careful with this. I underestimated this light weight gun I bought from A.C. Moore. It packs a powerful punch. Make sure your feet and eyes are not in close range, sounds sort of impossible but you get the idea. Tip: You can use boutonniere pins to hold the fabric in place before stapling.

There you have it! It looks wonderful- not quite yet...Snap your fabric and cork into the frame and voila a masterpiecehas been made by you!

I sprayed my frame Aqua Blue outside in the yard. Be sure to do it on the grass so you won't stain concrete or wooden areas as I did. =)

I hung mine near my vanity station.

I hope you enjoyed my little DIY project. Stop my blog- I would love to hear from you! Plus your ideas on other easy to do DIY projects. Visit trulyrachel.blogspot.com!
